Subject: In defense of Cosmopolitans
From: Samm
Posted: Tue Sep 29. 2009, 20:31 UTC
Cosmos have gotten a bum rap in recent years, as people are getting 
understandably tired of the sickly sweet, grenadine-laced “Cosmopolitans” 
being served in most bars. I just wanted to voice my humble opinion that it’s 
a rather fine drink, if made properly, and should not be entirely overlooked 
by cocktail lovers. Here’s the way we should be making Cosmos:

*Cosmopolitan

1 ½ oz. Vodka (some people prefer citrus-flavored vodka-your call)
1 oz. Triple Sec (Hiram Walker)
½ oz. Fresh Squeezed Lime Juice
¼ oz. Cranberry Juice

Garnish with an orange peel and Enjoy!

*Cosmopolitan recipes should never call for sour mix or grenadine. They 
shouldn’t be garnished with a cherry, and shouldn’t have more cranberry juice 
than Triple Sec. If you’re cocktail came out blood-red, try, try again!
